• Glanzer & Cunitz 1966

  Participants - 46 males in the US army
• Glanzer & Gunitz 1966

  Procedure - Participants were shown 15 lists each containing 15 words. They were to recall them immediately after being shown the list, recall after a 10 second interference task (which involved counting backwards from a number in threes), and recall after a 30 second interference task.

  Results - Participants in the immediate recall condition showed the serial position effect (primary is more items recalled from beginning and recency is end of list). 10 second delay showed a similar primary effect but less recency. 30 second delay had highest primary effect but no recency effect

  Conclusion - The 30 second interference task prevented rehearsal, so items at the end of the list couldn't be transferred to LTM. So, there appears to be two separate storage facilities.
